Bishop Mark’s Pastoral Message: “Let us be like Christ the Servant”

Bishop Mark invites us all to be like Christ the Servant

Pastoral Message to the Diocese: “Let us be like Christ the Servant”

Dear friends,

You will recall when I wrote before Easter, that I described this period we are living through as “a long Good Friday”. That is still so true, in so many ways. I have also been struck, over these past days, at how much each of us is having to live the Paschal Mystery, participating in a very real way in the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Today, I would like to share some thoughts with you on how we have been invited into sharing in the Lord’s experience of His Last Supper with His disciples. At first, this may appear odd, since we are still unable to celebrate the Eucharist publicly, and we are not even able, yet, to visit our Churches to pray before the Blessed Sacrament. Hopefully, it will not be long before we are able to do so.
